Life's like a road that you travel on When there's one day here and the next day gone Sometimes you bend and sometimes you stand Sometimes you turn your back to the wind There's a world outside every darkened door Where blues won't haunt you anymore Where brave are free and lovers soar Come ride with me to the distant shore We won't hesitate To break down the garden gate There's not much time left today Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long Through all these cities and all these towns It's in my blood, and it's all around I love you now like I loved you then This is the road, and these are the hands From Mozambique to those Memphis nights The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights Knock me down and back up again You're in my blood; I'm not a lonely man There's no load I can't hold A road so rough this I know I'll be there when the light comes in Tell 'em we're survivors Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long There was a distance between you and I A misunderstanding once But now we look in the eye There ain't no load that I can't hold A road so rough this I know I'll be there when the light comes in Tell 'em we're survivors Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long
